Are you retiring within 2 years? Calling it quits on learning new tech seems a pretty good way to end up like the COBOL developers in the early 2000s as jobs slowly dried up and the ones who refused to change became obsolete.
- pascalxus 7y agoNew languages aren't popping up (and taking over) every 5 years like they used to. The rate of change is slowing. At this point, I think it's fine to settle down with a language, as the entrenched positions of the top languages isn't changing anytime soon. I know, even as early as the late 90s people were saying C++ was done for, and it's still in fairly popular demand (https://skilldime.com/ https://skilldime.com/), mainly due to all that legacy code.
